Chairman of the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee has cast doubt on the consideration of the anti-LGBTQ bill before Parliament rises for the Christmas break.

According to Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, some developments around the legislation will have to be sorted out first.

This comes after sponsors of the controversial anti-LGBTQ bill grew furious over the lack of action on their bill on Wednesday, December 6.

The private members’ bill, sponsored by Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, has been stuck at the consideration stage for months without progress.

But Mr Antwi insists that there are new developments with the bill that need to be addressed at the committee level before it can progress any further.

“The main reason why I think the Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill cannot be prosecuted now is that there is an issue that has been raised and we need to sit again as a committee and iron out those creases before we can do the consideration,” he told JoyNews.

On Wednesday, legislators from both sides of Parliament exchanged words as they exited the chamber.

The drama continued outside the floor as the foyer saw a heated outburst by the minority members.

At a brief conference after the sitting, Sam George took exception to what he believes are calculated attempts by some members of the Majority to prevent the progress of the bill.

He found the reason given for the postponement untenable.

“The excuse given today that the chairman of the committee is not in the chamber so we can’t take the amendments is alien to the practice of this house.”

“Those who have gone and gotten influenced by persons who have an interest in the LGBTQ should return whatever influence they have collected because we will fight, and the next time we address the media, I will mention names.

“I’ve been impressed upon today by my co-sponsors, not to mention names and it’s out of respect for them that I’m not mentioning names… How can this bill spend almost three years, this bill was introduced in 2021,” he exclaimed.
